FanDuel daily picks: Fantasy Hockey lineup – December 6, 2017
By Paul Horvat
The best picks and low-owned fantasy plays for FanDuel fantasy hockey for Wednesday December, 6.
Welcome to the fantasy NHL picks and daily lineups for FanDuel. Tonight we have a small four-game slate starting at 7:30 ET. We are going to focus on the top players and the low-owned players that you will need to take down some cash. Let’s take a look at the schedule and star times:
- Calgary at Toronto 7:30 p.m. ET
- Chicago at Washington 8:00 p.m. ET
- Philadelphia at Edmonton 9:30 p.m. ET
- Ottawa at Anaheim 10:00 p.m. ET
Looking at the matchups tonight, Calgary broke the slate on Monday with a poor effort losing to a determined Flyer team 5-2. It can be tough to go back to the well after getting stung by the Flames, however they get the highest projected total game facing Toronto.
Speaking of the Maple Leafs, they have some of the rising stars in the game led by Auston Matthews. The other game we have to speak of is the Flyers-Oilers game. If their recent effort against the Flames is any indication of things to come this game may shootout and find our contrarian value plays.
Tonight with such a short slate and the potential to have multiple identical picks, the strategy you have to utilize is one of differentiation. Let’s dig in to the top plays and low ownership plays for tonight.
